Princess Cruises Takes Delivery of Sun Princess; Maiden Voyage Delayed to February 28
Princess Cruises today took delivery of Sun Princess from Fincantieri. However, additional work needed at the shipyard will lead to the cancelation of the ship’s February 18 voyage. Sun Princess now will make its maiden voyage on February 28 from Rome.
The cruise line provided the following statement regarding the cancellation, “The ship does need to remain alongside in the shipyard to allow for additional technical work to ensure an outstanding vacation is delivered. Accordingly, the cruise line regrettably is cancelling the February 18 voyage.”
This is the second cancellation of Sun Princess’ maiden voyage. In January, Princess Cruises announced that they along with Fincantieri had mutually agreed to cancel the ship's inaugural 10-day voyage that was originally set to depart from Barcelona on February 8, 2024.
Any guests originally booked on Sun Princess’ February 18 voyage will receive a full refund of the cruise fare and reimbursement for additional onboard services that were pre-purchased. The line will also offer these guests a 50% future cruise credit (FCC) that can be used on a future Princess Cruises’ voyage.
Princess Cruises will offer financial reimbursement for select travel costs for guests on the February 18 voyage who had already arrived ahead of their sailing, as well as offer reimbursements related to certain change fees related to flights for guests who had not yet started travel.
